Hi! I'm Valerie, and I've been an elementary educator for the past 10 years. I earned my Master's degree in Elementary Education from Liberty University, and later I completed my Elementary Education (Ed.S.) degree at the University of West Georgia, along with my Tier 1 Educational Leadership Certification.
Throughout my career, I've taught in a variety of settings, including whole-group instruction, small-group intervention, one-on-one support, and virtual learning during/after the pandemic. Every student learns differently, so I believe that it is not a "one-size-fits-all" approach to teaching. I use a variety of research-based instructional strategies and adapt my lessons to meet each student's individual learning style, strengths, and needs.
I currently teach second grade and have extensive experience helping students build confidence in reading, writing, phonics, and math. One of my favorite parts of teaching is seeing the moment when something finally clicks for a student. My goal is to create a positive, encouraging learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, taking risks, and growing in both their skills and confidence. I look forward to partnering with your family to help your child reach their full potential!
